Oblique Injury For Shaq Barrett

October 11th, 2019

Shaq Barrett and another Buccaneer are new names on the official injury list

Man, Joe winced seeing this.

NFL sack leader and one-man wrecking crew linebacker Shaq Barrett is injured. The info is in from England and Barrett appeared out of the blue as “limited” today with an oblique issue. Barrett was not on earlier official injury reports this week.

Starting safety Mike Edwards also made a debut appearance today with a hamstring injury. He, too, was limited.

The injury bug has really hit the Bucs this week.

No, this doesn’t mean Barrett will miss Sunday’s game, but any new Friday injury is always cause for concern. The Bucs’ pass rush hasn’t shown it can thrive without a full-go Shaq Barrett.

Good thing I got a early check in at the Holiday Inn Express
Typical recovery time
While some mild oblique strains can be resolved in just a few days, severe strains can require surgery with a recovery time of 3-4 months.

All hands on deck…..These guys know they got a bye week after this one.

Time for this team to assert itself and get into the bye feeling confident. Then you can come out of that bye firing on all cylinders!!!

And I don’t care how it plays out…..No matter what, when this team gets back home they need to freaking win that game on Nov 10th. Enough of this fair whether bull crap. Our team is clawing their way through a awful toad trip…..They deserve a solid fanbase to support them on return. And we gotta do our share to not have our home field be a Den of Depression!!! Give this team a fanbase they can feed from!!!!

I’ll be there in the South Enzone getting them everybody loud and fired up…..Y’all JBFer need to do your part and do the same for whatever part of the stadium your at!!!! It’s what any decent die-hard would do!

Shaq played an incredible game against the Panthers in their first meeting … 3 sacks, 4 QB Hits, 3 solo tackles. No doubt in my mind that it made a HUGE difference in the outcome. We’d miss him big-time if he can’t go.

Edwards was also listed as Questionable (limited participation) and a hamstring injury isn’t good. But Andrew Adams was no slouch last year, and Darian Stewart showed some promise in the past.

Not only are Cappa & Dotson listed as Out, but so is Bailey. With Wells & Watford in now, that leaves us with ONLY Hawkins as a ‘spare OLineman’ … not much depth there. THAT’S scary. Hawkins was drafted in 2016 by the Steelers but spent that year on IR. Played 5 games in 2017, then spent 2018 on (you guessed it) IR once again. Pitt reports say that he probably wouldn’t have made the team this year so they traded him to the Bucs. Wow, my confidence is soaring now.
